[Clinical nutrition therapy in patients with short bowel syndrome in line with principles of personalized medicine].

Home parenteral nutrition administered in selected care centres has been financed in Hungary since January, 2013. The authors discuss diagnostic issues, treatment and nutrition therapy of short bowel syndrome patients in line with the principles of personalised medicine. The most severe form of short bowel syndrome occurs in patients having jejunostomy, whose treatment is discussed separately.

[Potential relevance of microRNAs in the diagnostics of inflammatory bowel diseases].

Inflammatory bowel diseases are chronic inflammatory disorders characterized by relapses and remissions. Several factors have been suggested to participate in their development, although their detailed pathogenesis still remains largely unknown. MicroRNAs are single strained, non-coding RNAs, consisting of 18-25 nucleotides that regulate gene expression at the posttranscriptional level.

[Significance of microRNA expression in body fluids in the diagnosis of gastrointestinal tumors].

MicroRNAs are small, non-coding, single strained RNAs that regulate gene expression at the posttranscriptional level. They are involved in all major aspects of cellular functions, such as cell cycle, differentiation, migration, apoptosis etc. The role of microRNAs as potential biomarkers of several malignant diseases is being intensively investigated, since they can be found in the body fluids, too, besides their usual intracellular localisation.

Autoimmune pancreatitis in Hungary: a multicenter nationwide study.

Background: To date, most cases of autoimmune pancreatitis (AIP) have been reported from Japan. The aim of the present study was to assess the clinical features and management of AIP cases in Hungary.

Methods: The demographics, clinical presentation, laboratory and imaging findings, extrapancreatic involvement, treatment response and recurrence were evaluated in the first 17 patients diagnosed with AIP in Hungary.
